Initial data
The witness was in the backyard moving sprinklers.
It was about 8 o'clock in the evening, and the bright day had not yet come. She moved the sprinklers and turned to scan the sky for any signs of rain clouds, and that's when she saw them. It was somewhere far away, maybe a quarter of a mile away, if so.
It was a large V-shaped object in the southwest sky. It was vertical and quickly caught her attention. Her first thought was:
"What is it?»
She knew immediately that it wasn't some plane. She stared at it, the V-shape curving slightly at the ends, like " bat wings." At the junction of the wings, she saw a body mass. Not large, that is, not compared to the size of the wing. Those wings seemed huge.
However, the "it" was flying away from her, which could cause an angle effect, possibly making the body appear smaller than it actually was. She noticed that a part of his body seemed to be moving as well.
One moment it looked small (the body), and the next moment it became bigger, as if something was hanging from it (the legs?). But there was definitely movement.
As she stared in disbelief, she thought that perhaps it was " a living thing!» It moved at a constant speed and turned slowly and turned slightly, because she could see the depth of the wings opening up every few seconds. They were substantially wide.
She watched the" thing " bend, and continued to watch it until it was out of sight. Her observation lasted about 20 seconds, and at no point in her observation did the creature flap its wings. And then he was gone.
But, according to the witness, she is not the first person in the area who has seen such a thing. She knows two young men, brothers, who four or five years ago swore they saw a gargoyle-like creature of enormous size jump/fly over the hood of the pickup truck they were driving.

Summary: The witness was out in the backyard moving her sprinklers it was around 8pm and still full daylight. She moved the sprinkler and turned around to scan the sky in hopes of seeing some signs of rainclouds, that’s when she saw it. It was some distanced away, maybe about a quarter of a mile, if that. It was a large V shaped object in the southwestern sky. It was vertical and caught her eye quickly. Her first thought was, “What is that?” She could tell instantly that it was not any type of aircraft. She stared at it, the V shape curve slightly at the ends, like ‘bat wings’. At the junction of the wings, she could see a body mass of some sort. Not large, meaning, not in comparison to the wing size. These wings seemed enormous. However ‘it’ was flying away from her which would cause a foreshortening effect, possibly making the body seemed smaller than it actually was. She noticed that the body part of it seemed also to be moving. One moment it looked small (the body) and then the next moment it looked larger, like something was hanging down from it (legs?).
But there was definitely movement. As she stared in disbelief, she was thinking that perhaps it was ‘a living thing!’ It was moving at a steady speed and was slowly twisting and turning a bit as it progressed because she could see the depth of the wings revealed every few seconds. They were substantially wide. She watched this ‘thing’ made a gentle curve and continued watching it until it flew out of sight. Her observation lasted about 20 seconds or so and at no point in her observation did this creature flap its wings. And then it was gone. But according to the witness she is not the first person in the area to have witnessed such a thing. She knows of two young men, brothers, who four or five years ago swear they saw a gargoyle-like creature of enormous size, vault/fly over the hood of the pickup truck they were driving, northbound on I-55 going over the Meramec River Bridge in Arnold Missouri, late one night.
